🇺🇸 US INFLATION SITS AT 3.5%, still well above the Fed’s 2% target.

The Fed decides on rates today, and while most economists expect a hold, markets are pricing in a real (~35%) chance of a surprise hike, which would be the first since 2023.

If that happens, analysts expect Bitcoin’s $62.7k support to break immediately.

Hold or hike, where do you think BTC goes today?

🗣 By 2036, money will lose its meaning, — Elon Musk

Why do people need money? To obtain goods and services: food, housing, transportation, and entertainment.

But if robots and AI produce more goods and services than any human can physically consume, then why would money be needed at all?
